Troubleshooting Guide

Make sure the flash (or PC sync cord) is securely attached to the

camera.

If you use a non-Canon flash with Live View shooting, set [Silent

shoot.] to [Disable] (p.104).

If you use a flash unit other than an EX-series Speedlite, the flash will

always be fired at full output (p.103).

When the [Flash metering mode] flash Custom Function is set to

[TTL (autoflash)], the flash will always be fired at full output (p.106).

If flash exposure compensation has already been set with the

Speedlite, flash exposure compensation cannot be set with the

camera. When the Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation is set to

0, flash exposure compensation can be set with the camera.

For Live View shooting, use a memory card (a hard disk-type card is not

recommended). A hard disk-type card requires a lower temperature

range for operation than normal memory cards. If the temperature gets

too high, the Live View shooting may stop temporarily to prevent damage

to the card’s hard disk. When the camera’s internal temperature

decreases, you can resume Live View shooting (p.112).

Set [Screen settings] to [Stills display] or [Exposure simulation]

(p.109).

The flash does not fire.

The flash always fires at full output.

Flash exposure compensation cannot be set.

Live View shooting is not possible.

I cannot take still photos at the shutter speed, aperture or ISO

speed I set during Live View shooting.
